Have you ever been to the UK? Our system is awful Veyr expensive(and they want
me to use them and not my car). It was far better when it was naytionalised. Now
we have sevral independent private co's running it and making a complete mess of
it. Not only that you can't get west to est without either going north or south
first! Like John was over the west somewhere for work on a saturday. In order to
get home he would have had to go to London(couple of hours) and then from London
up to here! So i drove 2 hours to collect him as it was easier.
